Capers are the unripe flower buds of Capparis spinosa. They are also called Flinders rose. Capers are perennial winter deciduous plants which are native to the Mediterranean and some parts of Asia and South Africa. These are an integral ingredient in Mediterranean cuisines. They are mainly used as a seasoning or for garnishing. After these pea sized buds are cultivated, they are dried in the sun and used in pickles due to their tangy lemony flavor. Ancient history says capers were used in Sumerian food.
Capers range in size from that of a peppercorn or nonpareil up to the size of a small green olive. Larger capers are stronger in flavor but if you want to enjoy its aroma go for the tiny ones. Caper buds are picked by hand. Apart from adding some vibrant flavor to your meals, they are known for their immense health benefits. One tablespoon capers contain just two calories.
